In October, I committed to write a blog every day in November as a kind of NaNoWriMo, but geared to what I usually write. Of course, when November 1 came, I forgot.

Luckily, I am ok with backdating blog posts, so today (November 5), I wrote for November 1-4. I looked through my drafts and picked a few to finish, but it doesn’t look like I have any other drafts good enough to develop.

Here are some things that are going on with me recently (that I plan to write about).

1. I have gone all-in on Python for web development.
2. I started a project to implement the ideas in my book, Swimming in Tech Debt.
3. I am about five months into learning Spanish.
4. I’m starting on my experiments that will become my 2026 Yearly Theme.
5. I am almost done with the print version of Swimming in Tech Debt, which should go on sale soon.
6. I found a mutation tester I like (mutmut) and made a PR to it to add a feature I needed.
